Hörhiäisviikko event week

The Hörhiäisviikko event week brings together the activities of the city's great "Hörhiäis sector", i.e. associations, clubs and other voluntary actors, and offers a showcase for the positive Kankaanpää spirit and activities. The Hörhiäisviikko event week, which is held at the end of August, includes music, culture, art, plays, sports, well-being and a nice market spirit, as well as, of course, the long-awaited Hörhiäis weekend. The week gives local associations and businesses the opportunity to implement and boost their own campaigns and events visibly together. There is room for many larger and smaller, mutually supportive activities.

“Hörhiäinen” is the name given by the people of Kankaanpää to an active and energetic local resident who creates good activities and works for the common good. He is a symbol of the well-being of the people of Kankaanpää. The Hörhiäinen of the year is always chosen in connection with Hörhiäisviikko event week. A list of the selected Hörhiäinen can be found on the Hörhiäisviikko event week website.
